Danimer to acquire biodegradable polymer producer Novomer

Danimer Scientific is set to acquire Novomer, Inc., a leading developer of conversion technology. The Novomer technology has a much better understood control of molecular topology than the fermentation process at the moment. Assuming that (in the future) it will be possible to also have the other raw materials on a renewable carbon basis, this should be considered as an excellent strategic move for future positioning in the PHA-platform, both from a polymer structure/properties relationship and from an economic perspective.
